IGazETTE man last evening had an in
.,,ss,iDg interview with Senator A. L.
wilcox, mansger Of the Capitol Syndi- |
ne ranch in the Panhandle, in the course
Ighicl the following information con-
! sriDg that immense cattle corporal on |
rs elected: The syndicate now has 1875,
m head Of cattle upon its rang s, ov, r |
4 5000 Of which were purchased during
n Dsst season The syndicate shipped |
a even IA head Of Csttle during the past
vgon. They had txgeCted to ship 5000 |
nd sent 5000 of them to the railroad fcr
t,nsnt but, after loading the aforesaid
1lbesd, 1t was decided To bring the re-
uirier back and hold them for better
,i:ss, for the Capitol Syndicate,
Everybody knows, is not compelled TO
nrOW its cattle on an Indifferent markst
nrIsOYer the ranges were good, wafer
uOgi-Ct, every condition for Wintering
F0lsle, and as prices could not posi-
LY be lower IN the spring than they have
ss1 this fall, it was deemed the better
Uicy to hold over. The cattle bought
aisJesr have been one and two-year-
ID h,ifsrs and steers, with about 1000
Nw. Tney cane the most part from
Northwest and Southwest T,xss. It's
Eolsble more cattle will be bought next
ping, but how many or what kind is not
q. Known. It is the policy
d The Management to increase
IL number Of cattle as fast
ithe COn-tsntly increasing supply of
Fgg On the ranges will permit. The
E.tsl question is very simple problem
Ei1 them. There ar several streams of
EIunning water f)wing through the {
lds, dsms are bsiDg erected By which to !
i2d through the dr0uthY seasons the
il1 water thai comes ia the spring and I
AL sEd Wells are being sunk and wind
ILLS erected s' quickly as men and I
a7Hey can DO the work. Some of the
Ans hold water thirty feet deep and
aiming bsck hsf mile. There have c
Ken more han 100 wind mills put up. q
hseF is found oil over the rams at C
sPAs varying from ten 10 2l0 feet from t
